Mmm V2 Up In Smoke !!!

Yep, I was going to call Castle first thing in the morning.

2.5 hours on the v2 so far, 111 is the warmest it has seen yet. I need to gear up or volt up a bit and push the whole system a bit.

I don't know , yours is working great why try to push it .

because I would not be me if I did not. if it dies while being used within spec I'll send it back, no big deal. hopefully it stays strong.

Your a braver man than me

I just recieved mine, it seems to work fine but i havnt tried it at the track, i only calibrate it and set it up with a castle link..... I just ran it on the garage floor... its reaaaally smooth..... smother then the MM (IMO). I´ll test it on the track efter work today if it has dried up......

yep i have pushed mine as hard as i can with my current electronics. (FP 5000mah 5s, 1515 1y, Extremely heavy alloy savage, MMM V1) if it dies i will send it in. If not i will still send it in next month when orders are taken care of.

I took mine out the the track last night and ran the snot out of it. Put 3 5s 5000 packs through it with the 1515 2.5d motor geared 23/46 in my rc8 which is good for about 45 mph.

The fan broke within the first 2 minutes on the track. Same problem as before with the plug breaking off the bottom of the board. I even put extra foam padding in the bottom of the case. Ran all night with no fan and it only got up to about 160 degrees.

When I got home, I cut the grill out of the top of the ESC and put in a Novak 30mm fan powered off the receiver. Works perfectly now.
